Angel of the Lord Appearances in Samuel, Kings, Chronicles and Job



2 Samuel 14:20

The wise woman tells David that he is as wise as the Angel of God.

2 Kings 1:3-17

The Angel of the Lord speaks to Elijah about Ahaziah’s death.

Verse 17: So he (Ahaziah) died just as the Lord [Angel of the Lord?] had said through Elijah.

2 Kings 19:35

See also Isaiah 37:36

The Angel of the Lord kills 185,000 Assyrians.

1 Chronicles 21:15

See also 2 Samuel 18:24

Outside Jerusalem the Lord [Angel of the Lord] asks the destructive angel to “drop the sword.”

Similarly, outside Jerusalem, Jesus commands Peter to put away his sword (Luke 22:38).

1 Chronicles 21:16-19

See also 2 Samuel 18:24, 2 Chronicles 3:1

David sees the Angel of the Lord near Jerusalem.

The Angel of the Lord, through the prophet Gad, directs David to erect an altar for Yahveh on the threshing floor of Ornan (Araunah) the Jebusite.

King Solomon built the Lord’s Temple in Jerusalem on the threshing floor of Ornan (Araunah) the Jebusite. This place is called the Temple Mount today.

1 Chronicles 21:30

David cannot go to Gibeon because he is frightened by the sword of the Angel of the Lord.

Job 33:23-24

Elihu seems to talk about an Angel who can redeem.

Who else can the Angel [Angel of the Lord] be other than the Lord Jesus Christ? A mediator between God and man.
